The government owes its latest debt repayment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday. Since the country had to dig into a reserve account at the institution to make its most recent payment, it seems very unlikely that Athens has the cash to pay.

It is due to the insistence of certain institutional actors on submitting absurd proposals and displaying a total indifference to the recent democratic choice of the Greek people, despite the public admission of the three Institutions that necessary flexibility will be provided in order to respect the popular verdict.

He goes on:

This means the complete abolition of democracy in Europe, the end of every pretext of democracy, and the beginning of disintegration and of an unacceptable division of United Europe.

This means the beginning of the creation of a technocratic monstrosity that will lead to a Europe entirely alien to its founding principles ...

For those countries that refuse to bow to the new authority, the solution will be simple: Harsh punishment. Mandatory austerity. And even worse, more restrictions on the movement of capital, disciplinary sanctions, fines and even a parallel currency.

Tsipras is partly playing to the crowd, but those sort of comments certainly don't make it seem like an agreement is imminent.

Here are the payments coming up:

The Greek government is looking to unlock billions of euros in bailout funding, but its creditors demand economic reforms that Tsipras' Syriza party campaigned against during the recent election.

But the Greek government has repeatedly given extremely optimistic timelines that have turned out to be highly inaccurate. For example, Monday marks two weeks since Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said a deal was a week away, and markets were thrown off last week when a Greek government representative said a deal was already being drafted (it was not).

The two sides still seem to be divided over labour-market reforms and the country's pension system. According to the Greek newspaper Kathimerini the negotiators are also struggling over budget targets. Developments on those fronts might signal a deal is coming — without them, Greece is heading toward a default.
